Hello fans. Welcome to the Asylum PPV. One match has been changed for the PPV. Charlie Haas was scheduled to wrestle Santino but with the tag team belts on the line, the match was changed. John Morrison has been moved up and will now get the shot at Santino.
Before we get started, we wanted to touch on the situation involving Samoa Joe. Joe had been on a rampage lately and with TAZ in his corner, he’s becoming more focused. We are not sure if you are aware of it but it seems like Joe has been packing on the pounds lately. Not sure if he’s getting enough exercise or what. At the wrestling shows, more and more signs have been popping up. Here are some of our favorites we have seen so far:
“Joe’s gonna kill / eat you”
“Eat at Joes. He does”
“Buffet? Keep Joe away!”
“Samoa Joe may be dangerous to your health”
“Joe got Crabs at the Crab Shack”
Joe and TAZ are on the card first and his opponent is MW3. The only reason this match came up was that Joe needed an opponent and so did MW3 and Voila! We have a match. Joe and TAZ came to the ring first and they did not care for the signs that people were holding. Joe went as far as to take a sign away from a kid and tear it up and then throw it back at him. MW3 then came out through the crowd and posed a bit before heading down to the ring. Joe did not appear to be in a good mood and planned on taking out his frustrations on MW3.
Right off the bat, MW3 hits Joe with a superkick but Joe shrugs it off and hits a muscle buster for a 2 count. Joe then locked in the Rear Naked Choke but MW3 was able to get to the ropes to break the hold. MW3 hits a dragonscrew. Joe then locks in the RNC again but this time in the middle of the ring. MW3 has no where to go. Joe had it locked in tight so MW3 had no choice but to tap. The winner of the match: Samoa Joe.
Our next match is the Steiners vs the Worlds Greatest tag team for the World tag team titles. The Steiners were all over this one double-teaming at every turn. Charlie Haas took the brunt of the beatings but Shelton was always there to save him. The match kept going back and forth with no team getting the pin or submission. Just as things were looking bleak for the Worlds Greatest Tag Team, Negronomicon came out. This must have inspired them as they double-teamed Rick for 3 solid minutes. Finally, the bell rang signifying the end of the match as the time limit had been reached. Negronomicon pulled out a mic and told the ref to restart the match. He was not going to have the first title defense of the night end in a draw. The ref re-started the match and Scott was pissed. Benjamin and Haas double-teamed Scott and finally got ahead enough on points to go for a pin of their own. Negronomicon pulled on Rick’s leg making him fall off the ring apron. With no one to make the save, Haas and Benjamin were declared the winners of the match and the NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! They now hold both sets of tag belts. Negronomicon got in the ring and congratulated his team. They all left together. Rick Steiner is now officially retired and Scott must move over to the NWWA. With this move, Scott loses his shot at the TV title but is put into contention for the IC title. Rick’s world title shot is now vacated. Everyone moves up. The final spot will go to the winner between Jericho and Batista later tonight.
Next came the match between Finley and Sting. Sting needs to win this match if he doesn’t want to be forced into retirement. Sting owned Finley and in fact, made him his bitch. Finley didn’t mount much of an offense. The tide turned when Sting, after delivering a death drop in the middle of the ring, went for a cover and the ref slow counted. What the heck? What is going on here? Finley came back and locked Sting in a sleeperhold and even though Sting got to the ropes, he wouldn’t break the hold. He managed to get Sting into the corner and just started whipping him like a scalded dog. He beat him up with his fists pretty bad. Sting managed to get to his feet and screamed in the face of Finley and Finley gave a nasty eye gouge. He then rolled up Sting and the ref, making a fast count, counted Sting’s shoulders down and awarded the match to Finley. Negronomicon came out again and informed everyone that Sting was now FIRED! “Get your shit and get out!” Negronomicon screamed at him. Sting sulked and walked to the back a defeated and broken man.
Next on the card is MVP defending the CSWA cruiserweight title against Mohammed Hassan. This match was pretty even considering Hassan had only wrestled once since his return to the ring. He stayed with MVP for the majority of the match but the longer the match went, the more tired Hassan became. MVP was hitting him will all kinds of high flying moves. In the end, after a well placed flying dropkick hit its mark, MVP made the cover and 14 minutes was declared the winner and STILL the Cruiserweight Champion.
The US/World Heavyweight Champion Booker T was out next defending the US title against Rey Mysterio. Rey started off the match with a hurricarana and that dictated the rest of the match. Booker must have been concerned with his match against the Undertaker later that his mind just wasn’t in the right place. Rey has never been on fire like he was in this match and in the end, after getting nailed by the 6-1-9, I think Booker just gave up. Rey got the 1-2-3 and was declared the winner and the NEW US Champion.
Rey stayed in the ring as the Super Warrior came down. Rey was extremely confident in his ability to beat SW that he actually agreed to put the US title on the line. As soon as the bell rang, SW hit Mysterio with the Superbomb and got a 2 count. Rey came back and hit the 6-1-9 but only got a 2 count. Mysterio followed it up with a hurricarana. A reversal by Rey and SW goes sailing out of the ring. He makes it back in at 5. A one arm chokeslam from SW is not enough to put Rey and another 6-1-9 put SW down for the count. The winner – Rey Mysterio.
Chris Jericho vs Batista was up next to determine who receives the final slot for the World title. Jericho caught his opponent off-guard early after connecting with an elbow off the ropes. Batista hit a powerslam while Jericho hit a chop to chest. I think that made Batista mad. Dave connected with an Enforcer Spinebuster while Jericho locks on a headlock. Another spinebuster from Dave but Chris locks him in the Walls of Jericho which Batista powers out of easily. Chris tossed Dave to the outside where he brawled briefly with the big man. After throwing Dave into the ringside steps, he rolled back in just before the 10 count. The winner of the match by Countout: Chris Jericho. Jericho now gets the final spot for the World title.
Donnie B vs Elijah Burke was next. Donnie B started off the match by hitting Burke with a chair. DB continued with a Guerrero stomp. Burke battled back with a hip toss and DB hit the stomp again. Burke then caught DB in a bulldog but somehow Donnie B got Burke to the top turnbuckle and hit a superplex. I think that did more damage to DB than Burke as Burke was quick to his feet and hit a flying dropkick. DB gets up and hits a neckbreaker but only gets a two count. A flying dropkick from Burke is met with the Lights Out brainbuster but DB only gets a 2 count. The funny thing about this match is Donnie B started off like a wildfire but then as the match went longer, fizzled out. This match looked like it was going to hit the time limit. Burke hit DB with a loaded glove but only got a 2 count. He hit another bulldog but, again, only a 2 count. Finally, in the last 30 seconds of the match, Burke hit a flying lariat and was finally able to get the 1-2-3. Burke moves up in the standings while DB drops.
To determine who will rank higher for the World Title, Abyss took on Mick Foley (in his Cactus Jack attire). These two brutalized each other. Abyss was always in control but Foley was able to dish it out as good as he could take it. Abyss hit many Blackhole slams but was never able to get the pin. Foley looked like he could win it after hitting the bang-bang piledriver but Abyss was able to kick out. In the end, the bell rang signifying the end of the match. Both men looked banged up and bruised. They shook hands afterwards and left the ring together. Foley retains his spot.
Santino vs John Morrison followed. Santino really appeared to be the underdog here especially based on Morrison’s win over Christian. John started off with an eye gouge but Santino hit a flying 5 arm. A smash in the corner from Morrison and another flying 5 arm and a pin attempt from Santino but he only got a 2 count. John went for a running knee smash but Santino got out of the way. Santino tried for a fist drop but John moved. A nice suplex from Morrison and Santino was up on the top rope and collided with another flying 5 arm. He made the cover and with a little help from some tight pulling, he got the win. The winner and still the X-Division Champ – Santino Marella. Negronomicon came down to congratulate him and they left together.
The North American title was on the line next as Chris Masters defended the belt against Chavo Guerrero. Chavo hit a forearm smash and Masters just took it. Chris then threw Chavo out of the ring and then handcuffed him to the guardrail. Masters got back in as Chavo tried to free himself but to no avail. Chavo is counted out. The winner by CO and still the North American Champion – Chris Masters.
Carlito, the IC Champion, came out next to meet up with Kane. Negronomicon came down to the ring with Carlito. Kane charged Carlito but he moved. In fact, he kept moving and eventually jumped out of the ring. He and Negronomicon then left but Kane came out to chase after them. They turned around and started to beat down on Kane but Kane pushed N out of the way and dragged Carlito back to the ring. The ref was still counting as Carlito was tossed back in but he kept going. As Kane entered the ring, Carlito had slid back out again and the ref signalled for the bell. Kane wins the match on count out but does not win the title.
Edge is finally back and this is his first match since his injury at the hands of Christian months ago. He was itching for some gold and expected to take it from the man who just won it – Bobby Lashley. For a man who’d be out for a few months, Edge showed very little ring rust. Bobby connected wth the dominator early but Edge managed to kick out. Both men duked it out with Edge getting closer to pinning the champ. Edge finally, out of nowhere, hits the Spear. He makes the cover. 1…….2……KICKOUT. Well, kickout may not be the appropriate word here. Lashley powered out like a madman. Edge was beside himself. Lashley threw Edge into the corner and then charged connecting with a football tackle. Between the bulk of Lashley and the turnbuckles, Edge had no where to go. He collapsed and Bobby made the cover and got the 1-2-3. Bobby Lashley is still the CSWA TV Champion.
There are only 4 matches left for the evening. Christian vs. Jeff Jarrett in a cage, Booker T vs Undertaker and then Negronomicon taking on the winner between the NWWA and CSWA world champions.
Booker T vs Undertaker was next. Booker came down and did not look pleased one bit. Undertaker started off like a bullet but the champ stayed with him. Booker hit the bookend early on but it didn’t stop the deadman. Undertaker even hit the Last Ride a few times but the Champ kept his wits. After controlling the match for the first 7 minutes, Undertaker took over. Both men threw each other out of the ring but both got back in. For the next 6 minutes, Undertaker showed why he was such a dominating champion. Finally, Booker locks in a sleeperhold and turns it into a pin attempt. With the help of the ropes and some tight pulling, Booker gets the 1-2-3 and is still the CSWA World Heavyweight Champion.
The steel cage match is next pitting NWWA World Champion Jeff Jarrett against Christian. Christian has waited for this match for a long time. Christian came down first and got into the cage. He was then followed by Jarrett and the rest of the Posse. As soon as Jarrett got in the ring, the door was locked and the bell rang. Christian grabbed Jarrett by the hair and tossed him. Jeff got up and gave Christian a vicious eyerake. Jarrett followed it up with a chop to the chest. Christian went to charge Jarrett in the corner but he moved at the last second. Jarrett then catapulted Christian into the cage but he immediately came back with crushing Jeff’s fingers in the cage and then hit him with the Unprettier and got a 2 count. Christian then went to the top of the cage and hit the B-52 kneedrop. He made the cover and somehow Jarrett kicked out just as the ref’s hand came down for the final count. Somehow Jarrett managed to get his senses back and from out of nowhere, he hit Christian with a guitar. He went for the cover but got a 2 count. Jarrett catapulted Christian into the cage again but Christian delivered a low blow and Jarrett went down. Christian went to the top of the cage again and hit another B-52 kneedrop. The ref came over and started to count 1…..2……3. Now Christian has to get out of the ring. The Posse are all there doing their best to prevent him from coming down. Jarrett got up and pulled Christian back in. Christian delivered an eye gouge but Jarrett came in with the Stroke and a pin attempt but only got 2. Jarrett gets him up and hits the Stroke again but still only a two count. Christian then hits a running powerslam into the cage but Jarrett knocks him down and goes to the top to deliver his own B-52 kneedrop. He makes the cover and the count goes 1….2…..3. Both men now have a pin in the ring and it is a race to get out of the cage. Jarrett goes over the top and starts to climb down. Christian does a sliding kick against the cage door and it flies open. Christian crawls out and hits the ground only a second before Jarrett does. Christian is the winner of the match and the NEW NWWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. After he is given the belt, the cage is raised and the Posse all attack Christian. They really try to soften him up for his next match against Booker T.
A beat down (newly crowned) world champion lays in the ring as the Posse leave and Booker makes his way down. He motions to Negronomicon that he will be taking that belt away from him. Negronomicon looks concerned. As the bell rings, Booker gets Christian to his feet and then hits the scissor kick. He goes for the cover but then is pulled out of the ring by the Posse. He is handcuffed to the ringside barrier as Christian is in the ring unconscious. The ref starts to count both men. Christian stirred a bit but was unable to make it to his feet. Booker was given the keys by Masters as the ref counted nine. Booker did not make it back into the ring before the 10 count and Christian never got to his feet so the ref called the match a double countout. Since neither man won, Negronomicon did not have to defend the Undisputed Championship. The Posse all left together and that was the end of the show.
Thanks for reading.
